. . . ly Ballou here, live from Times Square, with a fast-breaking news story!

BEST SKETCHES: (SAMPLING)

The door chimes sketch (they were slightly off key and sounded REALLY BAD)

One Man's Family: Garage Trouble

Mr. Scientist: All episodes

Bob & Ray at Carnegie Hall (cassette) Too funny

Webley Webster reads "Little Women" (Arr...shiver me timbers)

There are truckloads of other sketches that are funny.

TRIVIA: (For those who don't know) Bob Elliot is the father of Chris Elliot

Right. So who's Chris Elliot?

Who's Chris Elliot?

"Cabin Boy"
"There's Something About Mary"
The Tostitos dude.

I also have a collection of B&R's early 50's TV show on NBC. It apparently was on 2 or 3 times a week live and Audrey Meadows was their foil. Very loose, with the usual live-TV gaffes. B&R did try some visual gags, but retained the verbal hijinks.

Bob and Ray were working together up until the '70's. They did a nostalgic variety series for CBS in the early '70's called "Happy Days" (no, not the dreadful 1974-84 sitcom). The variety series also starred Louis Nye, Jack Burns and Avery Schreiber.
Weren't Bob and Ray also the voices of the Piels brothers in the classic beer commercials, both for radio and TV?

I think my all-time favorite Bob and Ray sketch is that of the Presidential impersonator, who limits himself to doing presidents who served before the twentieth century (in a voice and mannerism absolutely no different from his own). I also like Ward Smith, the famous cranberry bog owner, who knows everything about cranberries except what they are used for.
